Re: IML: 1962 Imperial LeBaron-Need advice on problems

[aeyn <mr85000@xxxxxxxxx>]

I actually had something similiar with a 1972 Duster.  I went to
change the distributor cap and discovered that I could not get to
it as the right side engine mount had become oil soaked and
collapsed.  I had to jack up the right side of the engine to get
enough clearance to replace.  By the way, it was a slant 6 - 198.
   Only the was not ANY noise at all.  Great car - had 350k on
it.
